BIO
My name is Ivan Lees, an Englishman from sunny Manchester. Introduced to Fractal Explorer just about 18 months ago now. Never produced any works of art before ( except DIY ). Like the search for images rather than 'polishing' them. Do not use PP other than "Clarity" and "sharper" in Psp. Have a fixation on FE because I like it's simplistic challenges. Nearing retirement ( 6 years to go officailly, unless they change the goalposts ). Themes in fractals I concentrate on are Flight, nature, fantasy and humour. Mind you I'll pick on anything that catches my eye. My Bio?? Pretty boring really so I'll save you the time. I must have written the above 2 years ago since ( Feb 2007 ) I have only 4 years to retirement. Lot changed since, including my job. I'm now semi-retired and help with Fractal Explorer Mailing List. I also enjoy fractals so much I started a chat group called Polemic Fractals to help up and coming users. It's fallen apart since ( Jan 2008 ) but much of the material has been moved to Dredger's Chaos within fractalfairy.com domain and am gathering a modest collection of hints on how to squeeze more out of FE. I don't yet have a web site to call my own but I do have a Fotki space where sample images, which lead to those I send in here and FE, under Dredger handle, are rapidly accumulating. I dislike deleting fractals so it's a mixture of ideas and interests. I'm slowly coming out of my life long shell. I also have another hang up. Most of what I see here I adore, but I cannot usually say why. Same with my images, I find faults easier to spot. I also do not wish to be tempted away from FE just yet, so although I ocassionally visit I find myself tongue tied drinking in the sights. One day Fractal Explorer may no longer satisfy me but I get this strange feeling such a day is a long way away

A cool spiral and interpetation. Great depth and beautiful vibrant colors. I'm not real fond of the center.

Nice motion feel like the brown outside colors

A neat spiral, but I have to agree with 'fractalinda' about the center.

Ah, not skilled enough yet. Stubborn about the gradient combination. Lost what I was after when I substantially increased the iterations. Refused to PP, not my way yet. Working on another with clouds effect which may have the answer if not the impact.

Spirals don't get more spirally than this.
